| - Family Restaurant. Yep. I know you're thinking that these good reviews are all based on this notion of a down home family restaurant sort of thing -- like, it's a family kind of place and everyone's so nice, it's usually pretty cheap, and it's all comfort food but it's not great food but the reviewers are gonna give it 5 stars because they just feel bad scoring it lower.
Not so here.
Dude, the food is good. Great in some instances, solidly good in others. I've never been truly disappointed in anything I've eaten here, and I've been honestly surprised at JUST how good some of it is.
The Italian wedding soup is perfect. Every time. The burgers are good. The gyro meat is delish, the omelets are ginormous. Breakfast, lunch, dinner -- it's ALL good.
If they have the banana split cheesecake when you're there, yes. Just, yes.
And on top of that, you DO get the super nice family restaurant thing too. I was so sad when the fire shut them down for a while. They really did a fantastic job with remodeling and it's such a pleasant environment. And I can say this with some definitive authority, as I had to spend a good deal of time here recently when an extended power outage and internet outage meant I could not work from home, where I do normally. Not only did they not have a problem with me camping in a corner spot and plugging in and using their internet, they were absolutely GRACIOUS about it. No weird looks for me being here for 4 hours. No side eye even. (Yes, of course, I made a point of making sure my servers were taken care of, but they didn't know that was going to be the case yet, and they were SUPER nice!)
We normally get takeout from here - but I'm gonna insist we come here to eat inside more often.
Petie's is the top of the top.
